Alle Kapitel von The Luna's Law: Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

*Logan*I didn't even have time to cross the state line and already knew something was wrong. Alarmed, Gunnar tested his hearing and smell and started trying to contact the nearest outpost.The night was darker than usual in the north at this time. Dark clouds obscured the stars so much that even the moon and the Milky Way could not penetrate their surface. They hung so low above the tops of the snow-covered pines that they gave me chills.'It's not clouds; it's smoke,' Gunnar alarmed, and I watched them with a rapidly beating heart.Regardless of the snowy and slippery surface, I stepped on the gas pedal. Something ominous was coming towards us, and I felt it was just the beginning. Poppy started to wake up and mumble something incoherent, but I didn't pay her mind. I wanted to investigate the cause of the smoke as quickly as possible.We were less than thirty miles from Autumn Pack, and my heart was beating faster by the second. The road was empty, and the falling snow turned gray,

*Poppy*I stood with my forehead against the window, staring at two beds next to each other in an isolated hospital room. The nurses administering fluids wore masks on their faces, and every change of dressing on their bodies made them turn their heads, unable to stand the sight.I was exhausted and wanted to howl in despair, but I couldn't—or maybe I shouldn't—because even seeing Arthur and Daliah like that, I knew I couldn't help them until I finished this process with Seamus.No one said anything, but I could read in their faces that Seamus had arranged it. Even though his fingerprints weren't on anything of the crime scene, I knew he was the one pulling all the strings. This was his message to me, his warning.Don't try to win with me, little one, because you will fail and lose everything.I remembered his words whispered in my ear as he laughed loudly, humiliating me in front of our old pack. I wanted to fight and get up, but his words, fierce gaze, and the hundred people behind

*Poppy*My mind was utterly blown away. If Santa Claus was looking for a new location for his Christmas village, he could find a great place in Piemonthelm. This city is a separate world located near Autumn Pack, hidden behind Mount Vilhelm, where, according to legend, anyone who enters will not emerge from the swamp unscathed."Are we sure we're in vampire territory?" I leaned and whispered over the handbrake so no one but Logan could hear me.Logan chuckled at my question and turned left, passing a literal cottage that looked like it was made of gingerbread, dripping frosting from every window and happily chirping people chatting over giant chocolate cookies."Mom, it's like a fairy tale here. Can we live here? Please, please?" Gemma squealed from the backseat, almost breaking out of her car seat to press herself against the window."I thought the palace was like something out of a fairy tale. Honey, I know it's cute here, but we're just visiting someone here. We are not going to be

*Poppy*Logan's grip tightened, and a low, almost inaudible growl escaped from his chest as if the new arrival was already getting on his nerves. His possessiveness surprised me, but I didn't dare to tell him to behave."Oh, yeah. This is going to be one hell of a Christmas." The man agreed happily with Albert, and he began to hiss in pain after a while."Ouch. What's that for?" The man became indignant, assuming the tone of a sulking child."Language, dear boy. Language. You are in the presence of children and ladies. Don't forget your manners, or I will teach them again. Do you want that?" Sybilla turned to the man like a mother disciplining a small child.I didn't see the scene because my nose was almost painfully pressed into Logan's torso, and his previously vibrating chest began to bounce with the intensity of his laughter."It was better than any gift; I wish I had recorded it," he commented, still not breaking the pressure, pushing my nose deeper into his body."Logan. Logan,

*Poppy*"What a crazy shit. I didn't think such scumbags were still walking around the earth unpunished. Damn, girl, you have balls. Luna's law, wow. I've never heard of a woman who would dare to question Alpha's authority in court, let alone challenge him to a duel. That is the highest level of bravery. " Azize praised my actions after I've spent the last thirty minutes telling them why we were here.They both looked like top-notch badasses, so it was an honor to hear such compliments from them. Amara winked at me as she sipped a glass of dry chardonnay, which turned out to be a mixture of AB blood types."I'd like to see a little fairy knocking down a giant beast. You're truly a brave woman, Poppy. I know that you must feel a lot of pressure on your shoulders, but as Azize said, I think you're the first one who has a chance to kick that chauvinist pig's ass and show them that we girls are not afraid to fight for our rights." Amara added, patting my knee before she realized what she
